Turning Heads After Divorce의 모든 챕터: 챕터 541 - 챕터 550

Just taking this small step had already exhausted nearly all of Marisol's courage. But she had to move forward eventually.She thought that if it weren't for Nick's consistent, gentle persistence, she might never have wanted to attempt this again and would have been content to remain alone for life. After all, if it weren't for such passionate yet gentle burning love, no other feeling could move her or give her the courage to try again.But could her now nearly broken heart respond to Nick with the same intensity? Could she?If she tried and still couldn't, how devastating that would be! How could she face him then?Nick suddenly smiled. "Besides, even just as a longtime friend, I should be able to meet Emilia, shouldn't I?"Marisol, who had been lost in thought, froze for a few seconds upon hearing this. The pressure that had been building on her heart and shoulders for days suddenly lifted, and she felt incredibly relaxed. She couldn't help but laugh. Her radiant smile was beaut

"Of course not." Marisol wasn't close to Ronan, so she would naturally prioritize protecting her best friend's privacy.But these two people's situation was just too bizarre. She had to ask.It was strange, really. When they had initially gone abroad, these two had already had a complicated relationship. At the time, Alinta had followed her overseas partly to help her, but also because she didn't want to face things back home. Then, about six months ago, she was called back home by her parents under the pretense of a serious illness. Marisol had been taking care of Emilia, who had just recently woken up in the hospital, so she hadn't gone with her.But after just over a month, Alinta came running back to Eravale to find her, and through this, Marisol learned some shocking news.Her best friend, who despised marriage, had actually gotten married in such a short time. And it was to Ronan Lowell, no less.At the time, Marisol almost thought she was joking. Hadn't they agreed to sta

"Great-aunt Emilia, why are you doing these things? I told you it's bad for your back. What if you hurt yourself?" Marisol ran along the path into the flower beds to take the hoe from Emilia's hands."I'm not that fragile."Emilia grumbled, "If I don't move around, my back will really break down... "Who is he?" Halfway through her sentence, she changed the topic and pointed at Nick, who was following behind."Great-aunt Emilia, this is the person I mentioned to you before. He's very accomplished in research and has helped me a lot since university," Marisol said. "His name's Nick.""Hello, Emilia." Though his tone was slightly tense, Nick's expression had regained its composure."Acting quite casually, aren't you?" Emilia said unkindly."Great-aunt Emilia!"Marisol tugged at Emilia's sleeve. After all, she had brought Nick here to put Emilia's mind at ease, so she couldn't let her give him a hard time."What are you so nervous about?" Emilia stopped looking at Nick and took M

Nick thought to himself, "What a cunning old fox."Lying would definitely not work. That would only create a dead end."It was my idea." Nick stood there, each word clear and forceful. "Sol was afraid you'd worry too much and harm your health, and I like her too much. That's why I seized this opportunity and came up with this plan, hoping to earn a chance. The fault is mine."Perhaps not expecting him to be so straightforward, Emilia remained silent for a long time.After a while, she asked, "You say you like my Mari. How much? When did this start? How long has it been going on?""I first met Sol when I was 15 years old..." Nick held nothing back, explaining everything clearly from beginning to end.After hearing him out, Emilia gave a cold laugh. "So your family is a mess?"She cut straight to the heart of it. He had divorced parents who had each remarried. They had created nothing but chaos."Yes."Nick offered no excuses. He only said, "I've already handled those family m

"Yes, I know."Nick had only one response. "Sol's child is my child. What Sol loves, I love.""Hah!"Emilia chuckled, neither confirming belief nor disbelief. Then, she continued, "So, if that day really comes and you two end up together, would you want a child of your own?""No." Nick didn't hesitate for a second."Tell me the truth." Emilia's face remained expressionless."Yes.""Didn't you just say Marisol's child is your child?" Emilia lowered her head to sip her slightly cooled black tea."That's certainly true."Nick hesitated for a moment, then decided to speak directly. "I'm afraid Sol might abandon me someday. If we had a child together, and if she ever lost feelings for me, she might show me mercy and hesitate a bit longer before leaving."Of course, when I said I didn't want one, that was also the truth. There are too many potential complications with pregnancy. I wouldn't want to put Sol in danger for the sake of having a child, not even as a remote possibility.
